Daniel, Zach and Oliver won a trophy and a £50 Amazon voucher for their Batman film – ‘Joker’s Last Laugh’, whilst Tara took top honours in the animation category with her warning about global warming, ‘The End of the World – Almost.’

The CreateIT Awards are an annual event, open to all schools in Shropshire, and reward excellence in the creative use of ICT.

One of the boys, Zach, also picked up an award for first place last year, and has already decided on the short film for next year, hoping to make it a hatrick. Although a secret project, it is fair to say it will be ‘all action'.

As a Performing Arts College, William Brookes School has always been enthusiastic about creative pursuits, and this latest success story has inspired yet more students to explore animation and video making.

We’re confident that those numbers will grow even more, as we take advantage of our new school, the new facilities, the generous space and Diplomas in Creative and Media and ICT, all starting in September.
